Types of Water - INI

Water is classified by various criteria including salinity (fresh water, sea water, etc.), hardness (hard water, soft water, etc.), and temperature/components (hot spring water, mineral spring water, etc.). These classifications are used in combination to select appropriate water for different purposes such as drinking, domestic use, medical treatment, and hot spring bathing. Approximately 97% of Earth's water is sea water, while fresh water accounts for only about 2.5%.
